I am thinking that the rolls would store nicely on a wine rack in messenger or shipping tubes. Keep you eye out for one at the thrift store.

I have... more than a few of these (Thank you, Patricia Ritter, for your awesome monthly club ;). It's pricey, but I ultimately bought an Elfa storage unit from the Container store. Medium width, the shallowest drawers are perfect for a single layer, and this way I can see them and grab them easily, and the units are deep enough to hold even the widest pantographs (for example, ones that include both a main design and the border). The lovely woman I bought my Millenium from uses these - http://www.containerstore.com/shop/c...10005482&N=149 - and really likes them. Much less expensive, but she doesn't have two cats that think the bloody things are toys.

I have the Storage unit also (you can buy these from different places cheaper). Made a listing of my pantos (name/picture/and numbered them) and printed it out. I put the number on my panto and filed in the appropriate drawer. Drawer 1 has 1-10, 2 has 11-20, etc. If I need to I can renumber the tab on the outside of the drawer, but it seemed like 10 to a drawer was a good start.

Since I have been L/A for many yrs I have accumulated many pantos....I have them in a wooden bookshelf turned on its side and dh put separators inbetween....like a liquor box only a little bigger and I have them stacked my motif that way..i.e., feathers, swirls, baby, modern, flowers, leaves, etc..........has worked for me......they are hard to discribe, but look sort of like pidgeon holes or shoe cubbies..........
